Hello. I want to make a small announce.

Lately, I have been preparing a post about evolution of Touhou Doujin. It is based on works by researchers of Touhou Doujin and statistical data from doujin sales events. And there is a problem why I have not finished it yet.

There are two big databases which can be used for getting macro indicators of Touhou Doujin: TESC (mostly used by Japanese) and THBWiki (mostly used by Chinese). Both of them have serious problems: THBWiki counts only the number of taken places (and doesn't count the number of circles) and the data is mostly unfilled for events past 2019-2021 (like here); TESC doesn't add a lot of events (for example in 2018 they didn't add at least 8 events, in 2019 - 9 events, in 2020 - 26 events (most of them are canceled though, but TESC include info about canceled events)). But from the side of getting macro indicators TESC's data is better, but it is not enough.

So all this time I have been collecting data about different Touhou Doujin events and making the database (based on TESC's database, data by THBWiki and a lot of data from other places) for researching the evolution of Touhou Doujin. Because I don't want to make conclusions which are based on nothing, so I cannot continue without that data.

That is why I was not very active lately and why I haven't finished the post yet. I hope I will finish filling data and will finish the post this month.
